Chapter 216 [Under any means]

No one expected Rong Pengfei to agree so frankly, so he agreed to transfer Du Yufeng to the task force on the spot. Rong Pengfei actually had his own plans. This time he came to Jiangcheng alone. If he wanted to get familiar with the situation as soon as possible, he had to activate the local police officers and quickly complete the formation of his team. The task force was undoubtedly the biggest opportunity. Qin Bai and Jiang Liang had already entered his vision because of their close relationship with the case. Du Yufeng was Zhang Yang's best friend.

Rong Pengfei absorbed Du Yufeng into the task force and not only gave Zhang Yang favors, but also connected Zhang Yang more closely to this case. Tian Qinglong's case is not just an ordinary criminal case, but there are too many political factors involved behind it. Rong Pengfei can handle criminal matters, and he must find someone to share political matters. This person must have excellent connections in Jiangcheng and even Pinghai. Zhang Yang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Zhao Xinwei looked at Du Yufeng with envy. If he had known Rong Pengfei was so easy to talk to, he should have taken the opportunity to make a request, but now he was embarrassed to ask. He respectfully respected Rong Pengfei for two glasses of wine to deepen his impression first, and there would be more opportunities in the future.

Liu Jincheng answered a phone call when he went out. After coming in, he seemed a little depressed. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What? He has a bitter face. Didn't he bring enough money to pay for the payment?"

Liu Jincheng said: "As for advertising, the TV station just called and said that the big star invited to increase the price. The promised 50,000 yuan rose to 100,000 yuan. She is really willing to ask for a thirty-second advertisement!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What else do I think is important! Which star?"

"Zheng Xiaoqing! The actor who went out in Jiangcheng!"

"It's just her! A second-rate TV drama actor is worth such a high price?" Zhang Yang said disdainfully.

Liu Jincheng said: "You don't understand this. The market trend of actors is constantly rising. As long as you can get familiar with your face on the TV screen, you can basically get an advertising fee of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Our winery found her through the TV station. Because she is from her hometown, who knew that she had a lion's mouth and said 50,000 yuan. We thought about it and agreed. But a while ago, she had a TV series broadcast, and the price also rose. Now it has become 100,000 yuan. It's really troublesome to say that one cent is missing and you don't have to talk about it!"

Niu Wenqiang smiled and said, "Just "Hope, the foot binding cloth that was paralyzed by a lazy woman was smelly and long. She was just a supporting actress. Why should she be so tall? Let her shoot an advertisement, not sleep with her!"

Du Yufeng kicked him up, blaming the guy for running the train in front of the Public Security Bureau Director Rong Pengfei.

Liu Jincheng complained: "Including the shooting costs and the labor costs for the TV station, the cost of one advertising costs will cost 500,000. Our winery finally borrowed such a little money, how can we afford to toss like this!"

Zhang Yang said: "Then don't invite her, I'll recommend someone to you!"

"who?"

"He Xinyan, the image ambassador of Chunyang Tourism!"

Liu Jincheng's eyes lit up: "You mean the girl who performed dances at the Fuyang Food Culture Festival?"

Zhang Yang nodded, and Liu Jincheng said in surprise: "She is the star of our Jiangcheng, and the appearance fee is probably not low, right?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Wait, I'll contact her and see if she agrees!" Zhang Yang immediately called He Xinyan. He Xinyan has been in Lanshan recently and the National Economic Development Zone has settled in Lanshan, so Lanshan City is preparing a large-scale celebration party for this purpose. He Xinyan leads the opening dance of the evening, which was recommended by Deputy Mayor Qin Qing himself.

He Xinyan didn't have a cell phone. When she saw Zhang Yang's phone call, she hurriedly came out of the rehearsal venue and went back to the public hall at the entrance of the stadium. She heard that it was an advertisement, so she agreed happily. Zhang Yang could do it in terms of the price, but she had to take two days off for the weekend recently.

After Zhang Yang told Liu Jincheng about He Xinyan's reply, Liu Jincheng immediately said that he would pay He Xinyan 50,000 yuan for remuneration. Of course, with He Xinyan's current fame, the price is already very high, and it contains too many friendship elements with Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang did not want to take advantage of the winery, so he decided to lose 30,000 yuan on the original basis.

On the day of Aunt Su's funeral, it started drizzling in the sky. There were more than 100 vehicles coming to see him off, which was nearly one kilometer away from the beginning and end. The traffic police also specially dispatched vehicles to direct the convoy.

Li Changyu did not expect such a grand occasion to happen. He also specifically told him not to use the unit vehicle. When he sat in the car, he was in a heavy mood and vaguely felt that this was not a good thing. But today is the day for the old lady to be buried, and things have reached this point, so he didn't have the energy to ask about it, so he could only let it go.

Zhang Yang drove a jeep carrying Niu Wenqiang, and Jiang Liang and the others slowly marched into the team. Jiang Liang sighed: "I didn't expect Deputy Mayor Li has such a wide connection!"

Niu Wenqiang said: "This is not a good thing. A few days ago, the news reported that the county magistrate of Beiyuan was finally found out that the problem was stepped down because of the funeral for his father. Deputy Mayor Li was so grand that he might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Zhang Yang frowned, and the convoy stopped again. He fell down the window and looked outside. Seeing someone in the crowd holding a camera and shooting, Zhang Yang felt a little strange. Li Changyu had previously emphasized that all departments should try not to use buses, and it still formed such a large scale. If this matter is stabbed, Li Changyu may face another crisis.

The funeral was quite smooth and successful. At noon, Li Changyu arranged for everyone to have dinner in the Yumi Township and expressed his gratitude.

Because he was going to attend the winery award ceremony in the afternoon, Zhang Yang hurriedly left after dinner. When he went out, he met Fang Wennan. Recently, Fang Wennan was also very unhappy. He sent Zhang Yang out of the door. Zhang Yang said with concern: "How is the matter in the Emperor's Prosperity?"

Fang Wennan said: "It was transferred to Qiao Mengyuan. She paid me 10 million. Apart from the compensation and fines caused by the fire, there should be some left."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "As long as you pass through it smoothly, money will not be brought with you if you don't bring it in life or death, and you can make another profit in the future!"

Fang Wennan smiled and whispered: "I met a friend of mine in the funeral home parking lot. He is not familiar with Deputy Mayor Li, but he was asked by his friend to help!"

Zhang Yang looked at Fang Wennan in surprise when he didn't understand.

Fang Wennan added: "This is the case for many cars, and friends call us for help! Some of them received the rewards. I don't understand why Mayor Li is doing such a big show?"

Zhang Yang frowned. He understood a little. There were so many cars coming today. Could it be that someone did this on purpose, using this funeral to create a huge momentum and push Li Changyu to the forefront? Zhang Yang whispered: "Mr. Fang means that someone deliberately wants to make the impact of this matter bigger, making it difficult for Deputy Mayor Li to do?"

Fang Wennan said: "I just guessed that, who knows if someone did this on purpose and will find out soon."

Zhang Yang nodded. Since things had happened, it would be useless even if he reminded Li Changyu. Li Changyu's political cultivation is much deeper than himself. He must have seen something wrong with him.

The award ceremony for Jiangcheng Winery to collect advertising slogans in the face of the society was grand and warm. Yan Xinjian, deputy mayor in charge of industry in Jiangcheng, attended the award ceremony, and Jiangcheng Propaganda Department and Jiangcheng TV station all came to support it.

When the list of the special prizes was announced, the audience cheered and thundered. Zhang Yang stood up with a smile. The flash kept flashing at him. Thousands of eyes were looking at Zhang Daguanren. At this moment, he was the protagonist without a doubt.

Zhang Yang walked up the podium along the passage paved on the red carpet, took the trophy award certificate from Deputy Mayor Yan Xinjian, and the huge check sign with an enviable amount of 50,000 yuan. This was a huge sum of money in China in 1993.

Zhang Yang smiled brightly in the sun, and the audience below were envious, jealous, and whispering, what luck did this guy have? He drank Qingjiang and indulged in the world. The advertising slogan was not very good, how could he win the special prize? There must be something tricky inside. When the whole society collected advertising slogans, it was basically for outsiders to see. There were shady scenes, and there must be shady scenes.

Deputy Mayor Yan Xinjian smiled and made a gesture to Zhang Yang to express his acceptance speech.

Zhang Yang came to the microphone and smiled and said, "Thank you Jiangcheng Winery for holding this event! Thank you for your love! Thank you for the Propaganda Department of the Jiangcheng Committee and Jiangcheng TV for their strong support for this event! Thank you for the Jiangcheng Committee and Municipal Government for their support for the enterprise, thank you for the millions of ordinary people in Jiangcheng for their enthusiasm and attention, and finally thank Vice Mayor Yan for awarding this award to me!"

The audience applauded very enthusiastically, at least Mr. Zhang's thank-you words brought everyone in.

Zhang Yang said again: "From this time collecting advertising slogans from the whole society, I have seen the enthusiasm of the people of Jiangcheng and the hope of the winery development. I wish that Jiangcheng winery will go further and further on the road of reform, make continuous progress, and achieve its essential take-off as soon as possible!"

Liu Jincheng took the lead in applauding.

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Jincheng with a smile and said, "Don't look at Director Liu's applause today, I actually know that he hurts. It's 50,000 yuan. This money is not a small amount!"

The audience burst into laughter.

Liu Jincheng shook his head with a smile.

Zhang Yang said: "This money is my bonus, but I am a state cadre and a Communist Party member. I have a salary and income. It is useless to ask for money, so I decided to donate this money to Jiangcheng Social Welfare Institute and to children who need it even more!"

The scene was silent. Liu Jincheng had known Zhang Yang's decision for a long time, but others didn't know what kind of courage it was that a person could donate 50,000 yuan without hesitation. After five seconds, Deputy Mayor Yan Xinjian took the lead in applause. The applause was thunderous, and many people couldn't help but stand up. They were very excited. The previous jealousy and jealousy for Zhang Yang disappeared in an instant. No matter whether there was a shady scene in the award, they did not ask for the prize, and donated it to the social welfare home without hesitation. If it were him, he might not be able to do it.

Several reporters from the TV station also pointed the camera at Zhang Yang. A female reporter raised the microphone high and whispered: "Director Zhang, do you not feel sorry for donating this money at all?"

Zhang Yang laughed: "I always think that helping people in need is my greatest happiness!"

"Is this how you gained fame?"

Zhang Yang looked at the female reporter: "Is it necessary?"

"Then why don't you choose to donate anonymously?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I am a state cadre and a Communist Party member. I have considered donating anonymously, but that will create an impression on the society. I took this bonus and took it for myself. I don't care what others think of me, but I care whether it will affect the image of Jiangcheng cadres. I want to prove to everyone in this way that the people of Jiangcheng are always the most important in the hearts of us cadres. There are indeed a few cadres who can't withstand the temptation of money, but most of our cadres are still good and are still sincere in seeking welfare for the people. I hope to use my actions to increase the trust of the people in us. I will do my best to fight for the economic development of Jiangcheng!"

Zhang Daren's words naturally attracted thunderous applause.

Jiangcheng broadcast this news that night. Li Changyu saw this at home. He was surprised by Zhang Yang's maturity. This health school student who was promoted by himself has increasingly shown the style of a general. It seems that he has had little contact with him recently and lacks understanding of him. Li Changyu suddenly thought of the huge gift he received, and he said to Ge Chunli: "Have the money been returned?"

Ge Chunli said: "It was already back at noon today, and there are still many people who can't find them. There are still 176,000 in the account now." She paused and added: "The relatives and friends did not return them, and those less than 500 yuan did not return them!"

Li Changyu nodded, he lay on the sofa, closed his eyes tiredly, and after a while, he said: "In two days, I will call Zhang Yang to come to my house for a meal."

Ge Chunli whispered: "Changyu, do you have any worries?"

Li Changyu shook his head, the phone rang, Ge Chunli picked up the phone and delivered the cordless phone to Li Changyu.

The phone call was called by Hong Weiji, secretary of the municipal party committee. Hong Weiji's tone was very solemn: "Changyu, you are in trouble."

Li Changyu was slightly stunned. He immediately thought of the gift money and explained hurriedly: "Secretary Hong, I am returning those gift money!"

"It's not about gifts. You used too many buses for the funeral today. Now this incident has been exposed to the province. The reporter from the provincial TV station received the news in advance. Today, he specially filmed the scene of the funeral convoy. You'd better contact the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department as soon as possible. Don't let the news be broadcast, otherwise the impact will be great."

Li Changyu realized something was wrong when he was in the funeral, but he didn't expect that this incident would have such a great impact. How could the reporters from the provincial Taiwan notice this? Some people must have informed the news in advance, and some people wanted to take this opportunity to make themselves bad so that they could not raise their heads in the province. Li Changyu was a little angry. Political struggles also need to pay attention to some basic principles and use other people's funerals to make a fuss. Such people are really despicable! Putting down the phone, Li Changyu stood up with a pale face and paced back and forth in the living room.

Ge Chunli saw Li Changyu's uneasiness and restlessness. Although she cared very much, she did not dare to disturb him at this time.

What Li Changyu needs is calmness. He must calmly consider how to deal with this matter. Hong Weiji has pointed out that he asked him to go to the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department. Only through the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department can this matter be suppressed. Li Changyu thought of Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang had some relationship with Chen Pingchao, the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister. Last time Jiangcheng competed for the national economic development zone, he arranged for Left Aid Korea to meet Chen Pingchao.

When Li Changyu called Zhang Yang, Zhang Daren was flirting with Hu Yinru. The phone rang countless times, and he just started to touch the phone: "Hey!"

Li Changyu was in a bad mood, and naturally his tone seemed a little bad: "Why did you answer the phone now?"

Zhang Yang smiled, gently pinched Hu Yinru's seductive body with his big hand, and said calmly: "What advice do you have for Deputy Mayor Li to call so late?"

Only then did Li Changyu remember that he called him to do his job. It was obviously inappropriate to shy Zhang Yang's face at this time. He coughed and then told him what Hong Weiji told him just now.

Zhang Yang did not expect that the incident of Li Changyu's funeral convoy was stabbed so quickly. It seems that the matter we were talking to Fang Wennan today is almost certain. Someone must have been making trouble behind the scenes and wanted to use this funeral incident to make Li Changyu smelly.

Li Changyu said: "Zhang Yang, please contact Minister Chen and help me explain this matter clearly. Try not to broadcast that news!"

Zhang Yang still has some opinions about Li Changyu during this period. Li Changyu stood in Zhu Heng's position on the matter of Chunxigu Hot Spring Resort, so Zhang Yang bypassed Li Changyu and slapped Zhu Heng in the face. Zhang Yang said: "Okay, I'll contact Minister Chen. As for the result, I don't dare to guarantee you now!"

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yinru climbed onto him, looked at Zhang Yang with charming eyes and said, "Who is so annoying? Are you still talking about business now?"

Zhang Yang smiled and pulled her down, pressed her tightly against her body, and whispered: "Li Changyu, someone was using Aunt Su's funeral to mess with him. I didn't tell you that I went to more than 100 cars today, and even Li Changyu himself did not expect that. As far as I know, many of these more than 100 cars were found by people with intentions. Some people were deliberately creating momentum and wanted to take this opportunity to make Li Changyu bad. Now, the provincial TV station sent reporters to film the scene and are about to be broadcast."

Hu Yinru also felt that this matter was strange and sighed: "Politics are much more sinister than business people. Do you actually do things when someone holds funerals? Is it a lack of morality?"

Zhang Yang laughed. As he spent more time in the officialdom, the more he became aware of this matter. In the officialdom, no means should be paid attention to. Everyone cares about the final victory or defeat. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

Hu Yinru saw him smiling sinisterly and couldn't help but spit, "I can't understand you anymore. You officials are indeed not a good thing!"

Zhang Yang turned over and pressed her under him, and smiled and said, "You said it, I will show you the bad things!"

"don't want……"

Zhang Yang still contacted Chen Shaobin in time and asked him to help him talk. When Chen Shaobin heard about this, he immediately said that it was no big deal and would let him, the Minister of Propaganda of Pinghai, Chen Pingchao, come forward to say hello to the provincial station.

Although the provincial TV station gave up broadcasting the news because of Chen Pingchao's appearance, it can report that Li Changyu held a grand funeral, took the opportunity to receive gifts, wasted extravagance, and made a show of public buses. The province still caused the matter to be exposed to the province, and the province instructed Hong Weiji, Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee, to deal with this matter seriously.

At the Standing Committee, Hong Weiji criticized Li Changyu by name, and he had done his best to treat this old classmate.

Li Changyu was very angry. He thought he had not made any mistakes in the funeral of his sister-in-law. He did not take the opportunity to receive gifts and make money. He did not do a big feast. The gifts he received were basically returned. Those who did not return were also handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission for handling. Not only was he not wrong in this matter, but he felt very wronged. In order to show his innocence, he even paid the gifts sent by relatives and friends. The funeral was also very ordinary, and there was no big feast, and there was no extravagance and waste.

He made every bill clearly, and he was not afraid of provincial investigations. The most popular thing that made Li Changyu popular was the public and buses. Some cars were indeed caused by his relationship, but most cars came by themselves. There were more than 100 cars at the funeral, and he was not prepared. Li Changyu later realized that someone wanted to use this matter to mess with him and wanted to put the shit basin on his head. However, this time the preparations were too meticulous and sufficient, which caught him off guard.

After Hong Weiji finished speaking, Li Changyu immediately stood up. He looked at all the Standing Committee members present and said word by word: "Secretary Hong, all Standing Committee members, I don't think I have done anything wrong this time!"
